President Barack Obama plans to jointly name three nominees to the federal appeals court in Washington, a White House official said Monday, setting up a Senate battle with Republicans who say the influential court doesn’t need more judges.

The official said Obama plans to announce his nomination of Patricia Ann Millett, Cornelia Pillard and Robert Leon Wilkins on Tuesday in the Rose Garden, a joint announcement that is part of an aggressive new push in a years-long partisan fight to make his imprint on the court. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity discuss the nominees ahead of the announcement without clearance to do so on the record.

After a quick look I discovered that Pillard served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel (1998-2000); and Assistant to the Solicitor General (1994-1997). She also represented Georgetown as inaugural Academic Co-Director and Professor at the Center for Transnational Legal Studies (CTLS) (2008-2009). CTLS is a London-based semester academic program for law students from the U.S. and around the world.

A magna cum laude graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, Pillard began her legal career in a federal clerkship with the Honorable Louis H. Pollak (1987-1988), held the Marvin M. Karpatkin fellowship at the ACLU (1988-89), and litigated individual and class-action racial discrimination cases and appeals at the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc (1989-1994).

Can you say "white guilt globalist"? Gee,I wonder how she would rule on illegal immigration cases and cases against Sharia Law?

Also,I wonder how an attorney that had been legal counsel for the Ku Klux Klan or the American Nazi Party would be treated by the press and the Senate if nominated for the same position?

Wilkins worked for Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign,so what more needs to be said about him?

Millett seems to be the least offensive one in the bunch,but I really didn't search more than a couple of minutes.

I may be "closed minded" to some but all I need to know about any of these cretins nominated by this regime, is that they were nominated by this regime. Never really felt that way before, but the last 5 years has had its affect!
